Days of Future Past X-Men: First Class filming thread: News, reports, images etc.

[Crockett]

Ah I see.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

If we get an X4, it better have Cyclops and he better not be demolecularized. And it seems continuity will be ignored, even if you try to tell me Kayla's sister wasn't supposed to be THE Emma Frost... And I want those films to be ignored. If it's Vaugn's plan to keep Singer's integrity, then I'm all for it.

Me too, lets hope we do get an X4 and somehow certain events from X3 are either ignored or explained away, i'm sure one or two lines of dialogue could explain plenty away from X3, especially Cyclops' death.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I don't ever want an X4 if Cyclops or Xavier don't come back. I'm sorry, but killing off Xavier pissed me off too.

 

[craigdbfan]

I'm with the mindset that Singer should just pick up where X2 left off if he truly wants to make a sequel.

 

[Snikt]

As far as I'm concerned, Cyclops was never killed. Logan said "I THINK she killed Scott."

We never actually saw it, only assumed it. Remember in the movies, when it comes to stuff like deaths, if we didn't see it, it may never have happened

 

[The Bathammer]

Quicksilver isn't in this movie. I believe that may be Erik in the storyboards.

And guys let's be honest, they're never going to outright say, "X3 never happened. It is not part of any continuity with this franchise."

Face it, X3 was made and is part of the continuity. They can continue on with this franchise from where X3 ended. There's plenty of opportunity: Sentinels, Legacy Virus, Days of Future Past, Sinister and others.t:

They don't have to flat out say X3 didn't happen as to where they can more or less just ignore it and just not bring it up altogether.

The Incredible Hulk did it. It's not completely out of the question.

We'll find out soon enough if they are thinking of just giving each director their own isolated realm to play around with the X-Men.

Maybe they'll just consider Ratners X3 which I honestly didn't think was bad but sure wasn't the proper continuation of what Singer started tone wise as its own sustained world.

The same would apply for Singer and Vaughn.

Putting another block on top of a wobbly block is pointless. Remove the weak parts and have a strong foundation to continue building.

Yea but it's only "weak" in some minds. The "suckage" that fanboys claim X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine to be isn't exactly the only opinion. These movies at worst split the fanbase. These aren't widely regarded "bad" movies (like a certain pair of Batman movies were), fanboys are just disgruntled because they weren't exactly 100% faithful to the comics.

Xavier and Jean both confirmed that she killed Scott.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Not really. There was a massive psychic disturbance at Alkali lake. Jean was confused and Xavier probably could've assumed he was dead if he couldn't find him via Cerebro. So, bringing him back is doable, but the offscreen-possible-death was incredibly cheap.

 

[JP]

I'm still violently against any notion of an X4. No. Thanks.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Yeah, I'd rather not as well. Let's stick with the prequels. My franchise can happily end with 'X2'.

 

[Obsidian Idea]

I can understand why most wouldn't want an X4...but honestly...I wouldn't mind it...if it's written, directed and casted wisely.

A gifted writer can undo all that was done in X3...Jean's death, Prof. X's death and Scott's death as well. Even if you kept all the deaths...there's still more than enough material, characters and story lines to do a boat-load of sequels.

I get the feeling that First Class is going to retcon X3 and establish some foundation for a future "X4" film.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

My franchise wants a reboot about 5 to 6 years after First Class. I don't know if I even particularly care to see a sequel to this film yet.

 

[merbass]

I believe they establish Emma in this movie in order for her to have big part in X4. Ian is getting older and by the time X4 materialized, it would be impossible for him to be the main bad guy. He could still be a major part but less of a focus.

Could Emma use her power to manipulate Jean and perhaps the one who saved Scott ? Anything is possible in X-men universe.

 

[Carlo Comicus]

Yesterday, we (italian site comicus) received a note from 20th Century Fox asking to remove any image from the set of XMFC.

Yeah this is true.You never seen Scott's body, and a frame gives the idea he pushing back to thw woods.

Face it, X3 was made and is part of the continuity. They can continue on with this franchise from where X3 ended. There's plenty of opportunity: Sentinels, Legacy Virus, Days of Future Past, Sinister and others.t:

The last Stand is week in the front of X1 and X2, but is not soo bad as Wolverine movie.The problem with the film as the several plots tpogether, but in the end we have infinite possibilities to work, with the fact the powers of the vaccinated mutants will be back, because Leech powers are very instable.As Magneto proof in the end of the film, the vaccine is instable too.

I would say the majority of fans and critics, not some minds. While X3 isn't regarded as terrible, but easily the worst of the trilogy and a step down, Wolverine is widely regarded as terrible. The reviews, fan reception, and sad box office for Wolverine prove that. Most fans are fine with change, they just demand higher quality films, TDK is proof of that.

 

[Phoenix_Flare]

it has been said numerous times that Scott is dead as well as Jean, the only character that was thought to be dead is Xavier because of that bonus scene, which I think did more harm than good 'cause now ppl want and X4 to tie up the loose ends w/TLS

if an X4 is made it has to be Hell of a good story to get any of the cast back, frankly the X-Men, the Brotherhood can be left out, focus on a new villian or they could take a risk like First Class is doing and go with a whole new team of X-Men possibly set in the future.

 

[chaseter]

We never saw Scott die, it was only implied, so it would be extremely easy to bring him back. Plus that would make for a really good story. I would really like to see Scott and Logan actually fight each other.

But then again I don't care for X4 at this point. X4 should have been made before First Class if we were going to get an X4.

 

[Angamb]

never say never.

I think we'll see X4 one day, and done by Singer.

 

[marvelrobbins]

We may very well see a post X2 sequel one day(with hints that The Last Stand Is
being ignored with first class I don't want to call it X4) directed by Singer.We won't see
the entire cast back but we should not say they can't get cast members back.It will
depend on both who wants to come back and how much they want.

 

[PhoenixWillRise]

a lot of the X-Men comic story lines involve time travel... so for X4 to work wouldn't it be easy for a new set of mutants in trouble to (against Apocolapse perhaps?) get someone to go back in time and stop Jean from losing control of her powers so that she can face off against the newer evil... and in doing so, stop her killing Scott & Xavier....?

 

[rory]

Long time, no post.

I envision them doing a "Days of Future Past" storyline for X4, with FC setting up the past that Kitty/Bishop/whoever has to come back to. Remember, in X1, Senator Kelly dies, and in X3 Mystique loses her powers, thus making Senator Kelly disappear. Wouldn't it make sense that the government (who already weaponized a cure at that point) take a harder stance on mutants once they find out that a US Senator was not only murdered, but impersonated, by mutants, thus bringing about the bleak future of "Days of Future Past?" Therefore, whoever is coming back must stop Magneto from building the mutant-making machine from X1, and they'd probably go back to not too long after the events of FC to do it. If that happens, the machine doesn't make Jean start to lose it, and she doesn't spiral out of control (at least not in the way that it happened in X3), thus killing Xavier and Scott.

At least, that's how I would do it....
